EXPERT REPORT OF LOWELL CANEDAY, PhD

May 14, 2008
Prelude: Experience and Qualification
As a professor in Leisure Studies (often alternately titled Recreation, Parks, and
Tourism in other academic settings) at Oklahoma State University since 1981, I have
authored 30 nationally or internationally refereed research articles, 24 state or regional
articles, 66 technical research reports, and numerous other publications. In addition, I
have been the principal investigator or co-principal investigator on more than 50 funded
research projects totaling $3.21 million. Most of these research projects and resulting
publications have focused on the relationship between human recreational activity and
recreational environments. It is well documented that recreational environments influence
both the individual and the individual choice of activity, and human activity influences
the recreational environment.
In addition to the academic experience related to the interface between humans
and the environment in recreation settings, my educational background has emphasized
this same linkage. I completed my Doctor of Philosophy (Ph.D.) at the University of
Minnesota – Twin Cities in Recreation, Park and Leisure Studies in 1981. That degree
